Boone County went to 7-0 on the season with an 11-1 6 inning victory over Holmes today in Florence. Brad Krohman was the star of the day with 3 hits, including 2 HRs, 3 RBIs and a complete game 1-hitter. He struck out 10. The no-no was lost on a slow rolling infield hit down the 3rd base line in the

5th off the bat of the Holmes 3B, Wells. Cory Farris also added a 3 run HR of his own for Boone. Mark Reed had 2 hits for the Rebels, including a 2B. John Ham and Brian Meiman also had 2 hits each for Boone. Ham also added 2 RBIs and 2 SBs. The game finishing hit was a 2 RBI pinch-hit single by Tony Krohman in the bottom of the 6 with the score 9-1.

 

To editorialize for a moment, it is hard to believe this squad, after getting 6 votes in the KY. HS Coaches Assoc. pre-season poll, received no statewide votes in last week's poll given their impressive start.

Not to take away from a 7-0 start, but their schedule really has not been the toughest so far. Lots of single A schools. I guess coaches are looking at that.

Holmes is very young this year and has a new coach. This score was expected IMO.

 

Also Holmes will be without John Smith this season who was probably the best player on their team last year as a junior and was top 10 in many categories in NKY.

Not a top 10 player. He was top 10 in several categories offensively in NKY last year as a junior. (Batting avg, doubles, hits, etc)

Im not saying he is not a good player, but if you ask to coaches what 10 players they would pay not to face, i bet John Smith is not one of them.

I think you're misunstanding me. I didn't mean he is one of the top 10 players in nky. I just stated that HOLMES will miss him this season because a few of his stats last season were top 10 in nky such as his batting average, hits, and doubles..

 

I know he isn't a top 10 player in NKY and agree with you regarding the coaches assessment. :thumb:
